The Pride of Pinoy Folk Rock

The Pride of Pinoy Folk Rock

Meet the Pride of Pinoy Folk Rock and join us as we do the countdown until December 4, 2010 of this much awaited concert!

Pepe Smith

Smith was a member of the nationalistic and the seminal Philippine rock group, the Juan dela Cruz Band along with fellow musicians, Wally Gonzales and Mike Hanopol. "Juan dela Cruz" is the recognized term for the "everyman" in Philippine society. The Juan dela Cruz Band initiated the rock music revolution in the Philippines, veering away from covers of foreign hit songs and focusing on original songwriting. The trio has always been credited of spearheading the Pinoy Rock genre in the Philippine music industry.
Smith was also a member of the Japanese rock trio, Speed, Glue & Shinki, an interest in amphetamines being the attribution for the "Speed" moniker in the name of the band.
